About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Drawing on the highly successful first edition, this newly-revised second edition covers the many advances made in PCR technology since the first book, which has been used in more than 10,000 laboratories worldwide. As PCR technology has advanced significantly since the first edition, and has expanded its use in the clinical laboratory of physician/researchers, the scope of this book is greatly expanded to enable researchers at all levels to easily reproduce and adapt PCR experiments to their own specific requirements. The meethods selected represent worked examples from many fields that can be reproduced and adapted for use within the reader's laboratory. The authors have provided both a primer to allow the reader to gain basic experience of different PCR techniques, as well as in-depth insight into a variety of the more complex applications of PCR. This book will be essential for the labs of all biochemists, molecular biologists, geneticists and researchers utilizing the PCR techinque in their work.

From the Back Cover

Drawing on the proven qualities of the much praised and widely used first edition, John M. S. Bartlett and David Stirling have thoroughly updated and dramatically expanded the number of protocols to take advantage of the newest technologies used in all branches of research and clinical medicine today. These successful methods include real-time PCR, SNP analysis, nested PCR, direct PCR, and long-range PCR. Among the highlights are chapters on genome profiling by SAGE, differential display and chip technologies, the amplification of whole genome DNA by random degenerate oligonucleotide PCR, and the refinement of PCR methods for the analysis of fragmented DNA from fixed tissues. In situ PCR methods and their application in parallel with other methods, such as immunohistochemistry, are also included. Each fully tested protocol is described in step-by-step detail by an established expert in the field and includes a background introduction outlining the principle behind the technique, equipment and reagent lists, tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls, and, where needed, a discussion of the interpretation and use of results.
Cutting-edge and highly practical, PCR Protocols, Second Edition provides both novice and experienced investigators with an up-to-date compendium of powerful PCR methods for easy reference and consultation in the day-to-day performance of PCR-based experimentation, one that will enhance understanding of PCR, satisfy current needs, and point to powerful future applications.
